I’m at 32 but I usually delete one when I add one at this point.

Edit: 32 not 23

Arcane

(I added TV shows like Arcane bc I don’t want spoilers; will remove when I’m caught up)

For context, Akko-FE lets us expand muted posts to see them so I’m more liberal with what I mute. Certain mutes I usually expand, like “welcome new user ~” but don’t want to see when I use a client like Enafore where I doomscroll more aggressively.

a subset because some are uhhhh

very very user-specific and some are very mh-related in a private way lol

i scroll past posts i don't like. also, i'd just like to take the time to point out i follow >1,000 people on fedi and my favorite timeline is "social" which is a combination of local+home ​:neosmiledog:
in reply to Amber

oh god
the *key ui was enough to overwhelm me at ~300 following, i don't even want to think about what you go through lol
in reply to lily

if i enable "reduce animations" then my feed is actually impossible to follow since posts will pop into existence at once. if i am at the top of the list interacting with posts and a refresh happens i can easily scroll by 20+ posts at once. the only good part about the ui animations is that they slow down this filling in so i see each post slowly fade in.
in reply to Amber

yeah i forgot to mention i view my timelines with "autorefresh" so it's literally a waterfall of everything. i just pick posts at random that seem interesting to me to interact with. this is also why i don't respond to everything because a lot of shit gets lost
in reply to Amber

How do you even find 1k+ people to follow? I don't even think I have seen that many people on fedi lol

@cody @puppygirlhornypost2 @lily Over 4-5 years on this account I’ve accumulated over 700, and many of them are alts. An account-holder I follow has maybe 1.3 accounts on average. In January I resolved to keep it to no higher than another 75 per year, so now when I follow someone I try to unfollow someone else whom I’m not as interested in seeing anymore.

I follow someone if I want to see them in my home timeline. I add them to a list if I want to see them more for a particular reason.

in reply to Seirdy

If I didn’t unfollow often, I would probably be following over 1.5k accounts by now

I've only been here for a year, but I really just don't find that many people to follow lmao
I mean I'm following almost 200, and if I kept at this rate I'd have 800 in 4 years, but honestly I doubt I'm going to follow the same amount of people I've followed this year the following ones... heck the first like 100 I probably followed in the first 3 months... I slowed down significantly already...
in reply to Cody

@cody @puppygirlhornypost2 @lily My barrier to “worth following” is extremely low. Good takes on security or accessibility or search engines, certain projects who post things not covered by RSS feeds, friends, friends of friends, people who reblog good posts, etc. My barrier to adding people to certain lists is higher, especially one that’s just for friends and favorites.

does muting # count as muting words? I assume yes but would like confirmation
in reply to adradia

@adra_eng I only want to mute posts with those hashtags. It also helps avoid the Scunthorpe Problem which Akkoma has.
